How airport transfers work
We offer a free taxi transfer service for all new international students from Manchester Airport to any location in Greater Manchester.
To secure a place on the free airport taxi service, you will need to complete a booking request form at least two full working days in advance of your arrival. For example, you need to book by midday UK time on Wednesday at the latest for arrival the following Monday.
If your request is successful, you will receive an email with further instructions. If your booking request is not successful, you will be emailed information about organising independent travel to your accommodation.
The airport taxi service is open for bookings until 20th December 2023. It will then re-open for bookings after the winter break Wednesday 3rd January 2023.
Safe travels and we look forward to welcoming you to Manchester Met.
